Urban gardening is the megatrend for hobby gardeners in cities and the country. Urban gardeners plant fruit, vegetables and flowers in the smallest of spaces to add colour to grey corners or to enhance the menu with their own harvest.

The trend comes from the big cities, especially New York, and works on balconies and terraces as well as in front of the house or in the living room. There are no rules and laws in urban gardening. Anything that pleases and works is allowed. For reasons of space, urban gardeners like to plant upwards, for example on Euro pallets.

There are no limits to your imagination when choosing planters. But it is particularly easy with the Geli Easy gardening planter, which perfectly meets all the needs of urban gardeners.

Cultivating flowers, fruit and vegetables is good for you, relaxing and fun. But it is also important for the environment: the more plants grow, the better the air and the more habitat for animals.

• Kitchen herbs, early bloomers or long-flowering summer flowers also thrive in confined spaces, preferably with low growth and shallow roots.
• Hanging flowers also thrive very well and look pretty in storey planting.
• With appropriate care, many species feel comfortable even in small plant boxes.
